Meds change

Well it's official - I'm off the sulfa.

I had a 2 week break and my bloods went back to normal. Then Dr A put me on it again for 3 days and we did bloods yesterday. My white blood cell count's dropped by a point, so she's almost sure it's the meds.

I'm pretty bummed out about my stupid bad luck. I'll try and snap out of it and focus on the fact that apart from one slightly dodgy thumb I feel really well so I shouldn't waste my 'feeling well' time being depressed about a treatment failure. And I know that worrying about the future is pointless...but why oh why do I still do it??

Maybe I'll go watch the new Twilight movie, that'll make me laugh. The whole thing is sooo bad but for some reason I've seen them all. And no, I don't secretly fancy teenage vampires. Or warewolves.

Everyone is different … what works for one person may not work for you, but don’t get discouraged. There are lots of options so talk with your rheumatologist about them.I am on my third med for RA. I just started on Humira last month and it seems to be working better.

About Me

I like taking pictures, riding around on my bike and listening to music on my headphones with the lights out. I live in Glasgow and love the city. I also have RA and I blog about that, although I try not to let it get me down. That's it really.. Oh and I love squirrels.
